1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Bloodstream infections (BSI) in neutropenic cancer patients, particularly those caused by Methods: We analysed PA strains from 94 BSI episodes in neutropenic cancer patients across five Spanish hospitals (2006-2018). Antimicrobial resistance, alginate and pigment production were assessed. Whole-genome sequencing was performed to identify resistance mutations and virulence genes. Results: PA strains exhibited high genetic diversity, with ST175 as the most prevalent clone (28.7%). MDR non-XDR and XDR strains accounted for 10.3% and 18.1% of cases, respectively. The highest resistance rates were for ciprofloxacin (42.6%) and imipenem (36.2%). Resistance was primarily driven by chromosomal mutations. ExoU was present in 24.4% of strains, associated with serotype O11 and ST253. Seven-day and 30-day mortality were 21.3% and 31.9%, respectively. Mortality was not significantly influenced by resistance phenotypes or the presence of ExoU. Polymicrobial infection ( Conclusion: ST175 was the dominant high-risk clone, associated with antimicrobial resistance, while virulence traits were more common in susceptible strains. Inadequate empirical antibiotic therapy and septic shock significantly impacted early 7-day mortality, underscoring the need for early diagnosis and optimised treatment strategies.
